A new kind of collaboration in the U.S. that accepts all-plastic for recycling

Houston Recycling Collaboration

Traditionally, plastics that enter the recycling streams have been processed through mechanical methods. Although this has resulted in thousands of tons of plastics per year being recycled, it represents less than 10%* of plastics produced, with the rest going to landfills, waste-to-energy, or the environment.

Both advanced and mechanical recycling processes are vital to keeping plastic out of the environment and landfills. Mechanical recycling is efficient for clean, well-sorted plastics like water bottles and milk jugs made from one type of plastic material, while advanced recycling accepts and processes a wider range of plastics to be converted into brand-new products.

Leveraging new technologies to accept, analyze and process a wider diversity of waste plastics based on their composition and sorting them according to customer specifications for their highest and best reuse allows difficult-to-recycle plastics to be building blocks for making new, virgin-quality products.

This all-plastic collection program is critical to accelerating a circular economy and one that will help us achieve our mission of increasing plastic recycling rates from 10% to 90% worldwide.
